Doctor Says Many Are Cured in Lourdes The former head of the Lourdes Medical Bureau is affirming that all people can receive a cure at Our Lady's shrine if they pray and hope for it with perseverance. Doctor Patrick Theillier, who retired from leadership of the bureau last year, stated this in an interview with France Catholique. The cure, he explained, "might not be as spectacular as to be considered a miracle. However, the physician added, it can affect "in a profound and lasting way the person who experiences it, in all his being, body, soul and spirit." Doctor Theillier affirmed that "these cures are truly innumerable." The bureau is a medical organization run by doctors that operates within the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, which, among other things, is responsible for the medical investigation of cures associated with the shrine. The doctor noted that there are, of course, miraculous cures as well in Lourdes, and sixty-seven have been officially recognized as such.... Click here for the complete article. The director and editors of The Mary Page under the auspices of the International Marian Research Institute do not necessarily endorse or agree with the events and ideas expressed in this feature. Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press.
Mary--Seat of Wisdom The University of Dayton's Marian Library has new leadership but remains the world's largest and most comprehensive repository of printed material on Mary, with 75,000 books and up to 150,000 articles and pamphlets. Its art collection contains an estimated 3,600 Nativity scenes. In January, Father Francois Rossier, S.M., was installed as executive director of The Marian Library/International Marian Research Institute. At the same time, outgoing director, Father Johann G. Roten, S.M., was honored for leading the institute for two decades that saw graduate students in theology come from around the world to study at the institute. Roten also shepherded it into the digital age; witness The Mary Page at http://campus.udayton.edu/mary/. Rossier, a native of Fribourg, Switzerland, who came to Dayton in 2003, is at home around the world. He speaks five languages and has taught on every inhabited continent. His teaching and research focus on the biblical texts that speak of Mary. He also examines how Mary is portrayed in popular culture and contemporary literature. Mary, "he says, "is the most-written-about woman in the entire human history, and she's an emblem of Catholic tradition and identity."
